Synopsis

The highly virulent C-virus became a global disaster, but where did the outbreak start? In this prequel to the hit Resident Evil 6 game, the terrifying origins are revealed.

At the prestigious and elite Marhawa High School in Singapore, a female student suffers a horrifying transformation. Called in to investigate, Professor Doug Wright and his nephew Ricky find themselves caught up in a deadly and growing tragedy. As things get rapidly out of hand, Chris Redfield and his team from the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance arrive on the scene, while behind it all a mysterious figure looms.

Background

Biohazard: Marhawa Desire was published in English as Resident Evil: The Marhawa Desire by VIZ Media under the VIZ Signature imprint from November 18, 2014 to July 21, 2015. It has also been published in Spanish as Resident Evil: Marhawa Desire by Ivrea Argentina since October 28, 2016.

This is a nice treat for all Resident Evil fans.
For those who are not familiar with Resident Evil games (no, not movies, they are completely irrelevant), this manga will not serve anything worthful.

Coming back, I've never believed that CapCom can make a really outstanding scenario, however Resident Evil always been a great series with all parts connecting to each other, completing a bigger picture.
This manga, taking a place in the canon story, with the debut of our new character Piers, is taking place before the events of Resident Evil 6, probably around same time of Resident Evil: Damnation.

Our test ground is now a high reputation
desolated school, having characters from within and outside with different and -unexpectedly interesting- personalities. Starting from a zombie schoolgirl, experienced professor comes to investigate, however he soon realizes that he is faced against something similar to T-Virus, but not entirely.

With nice drawings (I was actually surprised, wouldn't wanna see anime-ish Chris), and a story that is having a curve towards the last installments of the series, it is basically watching a gameplay of the game that you can't have. Those who played Resident Evil 6 will understand what I'm implying, so no spoilers here.

Do not expect a Ryukishi level scenario, after all it's Resident Evil and the deepest it can go is already given ten years ago. However, you can expect something not entirely action but a story and fright. Yeah, the feeling of desolation with monsters that are not easy to kill without being killed. Those shiny short-skirted high school girls are just a trap!
